The Government of Pakistan has announced an important update regarding the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). According to the latest decision, people who did not collect their previous BISP payments will no longer receive back payments. This step has been taken because thousands of beneficiaries failed to collect their money on time, which led to payment cancellations.
Current BISP Payment: Rs 10,500 Only
If you are a registered BISP beneficiary, you will now receive only the current month’s installment of Rs 10,500. Those who missed previous months’ payments will not be compensated for earlier installments. So, if you haven’t yet collected your latest payment, visit your nearest BISP center immediately to receive it before it expires.
Why Back Payments Were Cancelled
The main reason for canceling old payments is that many people failed to withdraw their money on time, even after receiving payment messages. As a result, their payments were marked as expired or unclaimed in the system. The government has clarified that unclaimed BISP funds cannot be reissued, so timely withdrawal is crucial for every beneficiary.
How to Get Your BISP Payment on Time
To make sure you don’t lose your future payments, follow these simple steps:
- Check your payment message regularly from the official number 8171.
- Visit the BISP payment center as soon as you receive the message.
- Bring your original CNIC for biometric verification.
- Withdraw your cash immediately after verification.
If you skip one or two payments continuously, you may even be disqualified from the program.
When Will the New BISP Payments Start?
The new BISP payment cycle has already started in most districts. Payments are currently being distributed through more than 10 to 15 centers across the country. Eligible families are now receiving the Rs 10,500 installment for the latest period. If you haven’t yet collected your payment, visit your nearest BISP office today to avoid delays.
Important Note for Registered People
If you are already registered with BISP but missed collecting your money in previous months, that back payment will not be restored. You can only receive your current and upcoming payments. So, don’t wait — ensure your payment verification and withdrawal are completed on time.
How to Check Your Eligibility
You can confirm your BISP eligibility by:
- Sending your CNIC number to 8171
- Visiting the nearest BISP Tehsil Office
- Checking updates through the official 8171 web portal
This will help you know whether your account is active and eligible for new payments.
Key Takeaway
The government has clearly stated that old or missed BISP payments will not be reimbursed. Beneficiaries must ensure they receive their payments on time to stay qualified for future assistance. If you continue to miss payments, your registration may be canceled under the updated BISP policy.
